Japanese Tour Adds Two Co-Sanctioned Events With OneAsia Tour

The Japanese Tour has expanded its involvement with the OneAsia Tour, announcing two co-sanctioned events for '13. The announcement may have significant repercussions in the ongoing rivalry between the OneAsia Tour and the Asian Tour. The Japan Golf Tour Organisation announced it will co-sanction OneAsia's opening two events next year, the Thailand Open and Indonesia PGA Championship. OneAsia Tour Commissioner and Chair Sang Chun said, "This is a significant development for OneAsia." The news comes as another blow to the more established Asian Tour after that organisation attempted to block its players from participating in OneAsia events (PGA).
